"Vernier Software & Technology"

The Vernier Resistor Board has seven 1 W 5% resistors mounted on a circuit board.

With the Vernier Variable load, students can adjust the potentiometer to provide resistances between 6 and 255 Ω, allowing them to determine the optimal load on a system.

Detect radiation and measure decay rates.

Measure and examine emissions spectra of light bulbs, spectrum tubes, or the sun.

Collect quantitative acceleration data with this adjustable fan cart.

This balsa wood is pre-shaped in an airfoil shape.

All you need to add is a wind source, basic tools, and imagination!

This kit enables a number of advanced experiments, especially with GENPack generator module. Try different gear ratios, blade designs, generators, and more, in a creative, hands-on inquiry into wind energy science. This nacelle also converts for conducting weightlifting experiments, making it a great option for studying mechanical and electrical energy.

Balsa wood is very lightweight and stiff, and it is perfect for making experimental wind turbine blades.

KidWind blade pitch protractor, incredibly helpful for measuring the blade pitch angle on your KidWind turbine.

You can use our Heart Rate Hand Grips in conjunction with the Polar Transmitter Module. This option eliminates the need for a chest belt and allows students to measure their heart rate from the palm of their hands.

Chipboard is a stiff, easy to cut, lightweight, low cost, and recyclable material used to make simple wind turbine blades.

These dowels are used for designing and testing wind turbine blades and fit into the Wind Turbine Hub.

Experiment with gear ratios on your wind turbine or other small projects. Adding gears to your turbine can greatly increase the generator RPM, giving you higher power output. The small 8-tooth gear fits on 2 mm driveshafts that are found on many DC generators. The gears have a keying feature that allows them to be changed quickly and easily using the included hex locks. The hex lock secures to our 9/64 inch hex-driveshaft. Hex-driveshaft not included.

The GENPack allows students to construct their own electrical generator and perform experiments with electricity and magnetism. Changing variables in the generator design will impact current and voltage output. The GENPack is perfect for physics and electrical students exploring Faraday’s law, induction, AC/DC electricity production, and energy transformations. We recommend this kit for advanced middle school students and older.
